Ingredients

  • 16 Figs fresh, washed
  • 10 oz Goat Cheese
  • 5 oz Arugula
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 8 tbsp olive oil
  • 10 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 0.25 red onion

Instructions

  • I prepared each plate separately so it would look pretty, but feel free to toss it all up in one big bowl and just decorate on top with figs, cheese and pecans. So I first put arugula on each plate.
  • Then I cleaned and cut up the figs in half and layed them on top of the arugula, face up.
  • Cut the cheese in layers and place next to the figs. Add pecans halves all around.

Dressing

  • Blend the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and 2 shredded figs.
  •  Onion is optional, you can cut it in thin layers over the salad or include it in the dressing and blend it with the oil, vinegar and figs. Add salt to taste.
